Common questions in Bellfields
Could you trade in Riverside Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Bellfields?
London Road (Guildford) station, about 1.2 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
What a fish and chip van costs
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- How far we travel
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
- Service time
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
